Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

8481.40.00Same rate: 37%

If safety/relief function primary over flow control

Safety valves have dedicated classification regardless of transmission use.

8504.40.85.00Lower: 35% vs 37%

If predominantly electronic solenoid without mechanical valve body

Pure electrical relays/switches exclude hydraulic function.

8431.49.90Lower: 35% vs 37%

If excavator-specific bucket control valve

Parts of named construction machinery take machine heading.
